Former izna member Yoon Jiyoon, who left the group months ago after a six-month long hiatus, is at the center of new fan speculation.
WAKEONE, the group’s agency, announced her departure back in August of 2025.
Her health and focus on rest and recovery were loosely mentioned as the reasons behind the decision.

Moreover, she is still mentioned in iz*na’s Spotify profile description.

These clues have led many to speculate that Yoon Jiyoon might make a surprising return to the group.
However, it’s also possible that her removal from the agency’s website simply indicates that she has ended her contract with WAKEONE.
